How would you feel if someone told you that one of the largest banks on Wall Street makes more money whenever the number of Americans on food stamps goes up? Unfortunately, this is something that is actually true. In the United States today, one out of every seven Americans is on food stamps. In fact, the number of Americans on food stamps has increased by a whopping 14 million since Barack Obama entered the White House. All of this makes JP Morgan very happy, because JP Morgan has been making money by the boatload on food stamps. Right now, JP Morgan Chase issues food stamp debit cards in 26 U.S. states and the District of Columbia. The division of JP Morgan Chase that issues these debit cards made an eye-popping 5.47 billion dollars in net revenue during 2010. JP Morgan is paid per customer, so when the number of Americans on food stamps goes up, they make more money. But doesn't this give JP Morgan an incentive to try to keep the number of Americans on food stamps as high as possible? Of course it does. JP Morgan is interested in making money as rapidly as possible. If JP Morgan can get more Americans enrolled in the food stamp program and keep them enrolled in it for as long as possible, that is good for business.How would you feel if someone told you that one of the largest banks on Wall Street... more

While I also have an employment problem, I've never gone so far as to consider stripping as a means of getting extra income- mainly because I just don't have the cans for it.
However, if the thought has crossed your mind, you're not alone. One journalist, who has a distaste for the overt pornography in culture wrote a blog detailing her look into stripping as a new career move. Journalists are in trouble these days, so can you blame her?
She writes,
"Stripping is a tricky topic for me, a feminist enamored of Gloria Steinem, Hillary Clinton, and the history of "womyn's lands." Taking your clothes off can be the ultimate symbol of caution-to-the-wind liberation. But if you're doing it because that's the accepted mark of being sexy and successful, then that's a different game. And for more and more women, that's the reason. With raunch-culture ever on the rise, sex appeal isn't just one of the many cards a girl can play; it's the ultimate trump, no matter how smart or talented she is....
And it's pervasive. I have a picture of Diablo Cody on my wall -- an article actually. It's from the New York Times and profiles Cody and her three best writer pals, all of whom command seven figures per feature-film screenplay, or close to it. The article talks about how hard they work and the fun they have. And it makes sure to underline how "gorgeous" the four women are, exuding "four distinct styles of glamour." It's not that I'm objecting to admiring beauty (though not every culture requires this of its celebrities). It just seems to me that the message being delivered to young women isn't that the hot women can be smart, it's that the smart women need to be hot. Stripping is not just a potentially lucrative side job; it's a step toward a storybook ending. And that's a tricky message to be faced with at a time when so many markets are laying off smart girls (and guys)."
Side note: This journalist also interviews her ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend who is a stripper. Glutton for pain? Perhaps, but it is an interesting article about the difference between empowerment and exploration and raises the question (at least in my mind), by having more permissive attitudes towards stripping, are we embracing the male fantasy or just following our own facination?While I also have an employment problem, I've never gone so far as to consider... more

If you work part time, or are unemployed, here is a great list of side jobs you can start on your own, put together by The simple dollar.com. There is probably something you would be interested in, and maybe never thought of doing in the list, so check it out.
Here are some I would like to do...
______The Simple Dollar______
Blogging-- If you enjoy writing, find a topic you’re passionate about and start a blog on the topic. All you need is a computer, some time, and some energy to consistently write.
Computer troubleshooting-- I had some success with this in the past, though I’ve largely moved away from it now. If you have a knack for fixing computers, this is a good place to start.
Personal shopping-- Many very busy people and elderly people are willing to pay a fee for people to do their shopping for them. Simply retrieve a shopping list from them, return with the receipt, and accept payment for the purchased items (plus a little fee). You can often do this in conjunction with your own shopping trip if you’re well-organized (take two carts!).
Video preparation-- services Many people like to have videos made for special events, such as weddings, or for gifts. This may mean actually taking the video yourself at a special event, or it may mean simply assembling materials and creating a video from those items. Either way, with a well-equipped PC, some taste, and some patience, you can make quite sophisticated video productions at home.

If you have a spare domain name earn extra income by "parking" it. Many companies out there will host your domain name and dynamically build an ad-filled page for you based on keywords you suggest.

But parking services are not created equal. Here are the best ones . . .If you have a spare domain name earn extra income by "parking" it. Many... more
